Some years ago I received yoga socks as a gift for Christmas . . . or maybe it was my birthday . . . either way, they were/are pretty cool. I posted about them way back in 2013. I like to use them when the weather gets cold. I don’t usually dance in them. I prefer to do Nia and yoga barefoot, but when it is cold I still might be wearing flip-flops to my class so it is nice to be able to just put them on with these socks. But Nia can be done in shoes or non-slip socks. I would like to see everyone do Nia barefoot, but some students have been advised by their doctors to wear shoes. I would much rather have people come to class and wear shoes than not come to class. Everyone has their own level of comfort. Some people don’t like to be barefoot. Understandable sometimes when I look at my feet after class. But I just wipe them off before I put on shoes even if it is just my flip-flops. I have one student who has some yoga socks that are pretty cool, too. I like mine because I usually wear them for warmth, but hers look super cute with the cut-out on the top. She let me take a picture of them so I could share.
I can’t remember where she said she got them. I took this picture so long ago with the intent of posting it and I am just getting around to it. But I just did a Google search and there were several places that sold them, so if you are looking you can find them. Amazon alone has several different kinds that you can purchase.
As I said in my post Toe Less Socks For Your Pleasure Nia was created to be done barefoot. Barefoot helps to condition the feet. But not everyone is comfortable exercising barefoot and the comfort of students is really important. If you are comfortable dancing without shoes on but want a little something between your foot and the floor perhaps socks like these would fit the bill. . . . .or should I say feet? 🙂
Do you prefer to exercise in shoes?
